A Forgotten Past [2]

Ah!"

Abruptly opening my eyes, I sat up straight.

"I can control my body again!"

Touching my face and body I couldn't help but be elated. I could now feel my hands, face, and every other part of my body. The senses that I had previously lost had returned to me.

I was no longer trapped in the darkness

I could finally move.

"hu?"

Just as I was rejoicing at the fact that I could now control my body, I suddenly noticed my surroundings.

What's going on?

Wasn't I at the park moments before?

Looking around me, I found myself outside of what seemed to be a preschool.I could see children playing in the playground of the preschool, followed by their parents coming in and out of the premises to pick them up.

I was confused. What is going on?

I tried to walk towards one of the parents to ask where I was.

"What the?"

But I couldn't, something stopped me like an invisible wall. I realized that I could not move the wall, I tried to go in the opposite direction, but it was also to no avail as five steps in, another wall blocked me. I tried to move in all directions, but it was futile. Every five steps I took, an invisible wall would stop me from moving.

I was trapped inside of an invisible cube.

What is going on?

What is happening?

Where am I?

Hundreds of questions came to my mind what's happening? 

A question I didn't have any answer for.

After ten minutes, I realized I couldn't do anything.

So I observed, that was the only thing I could do now.

As I observed the preschool, I couldn't help but focus my attention on a certain area. More specifically a certain young boy who looked probably around three to four years old.

Dishevelled, White skin, Messy black hair, Hazel light brown with aqua tint eyes. It seems as if I am looking at myself. As he swung on the swing of the garden of the preschool, the young boy kept staring in the distance. Seemingly waiting for someone to pick him up.

No matter how long he had to wait.

He waited.

But, despite waiting thirty more minutes and most of the children leaving, no one picked him up.

"Who is he?"

"That's me."

Abruptly turning my head, I saw a white skin, Messy black hair, Hazel light brown with aqua tint eyes and a quiet skinny sixteen-year-old boy appeared beside me.

I was surprised.

"Y-You?"

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sam"

My mind blanked. I tried to find words to say, but it was to no avail as I couldn't say anything.

"There's no need for you to introduce yourself. I've been with you for the last two weeks. I have been watching your every move"

"What!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Sam shook his head

"Don't ask me how, I don't know what happened either…When I tried to kill myself, I suddenly found my consciousness watching everything that you were doing and you were going through, whilst I couldn't control my body"

"So you have been watching everything I've been doing ever since I took over your body?"

Sam nodded.

"Yes"

"I know you have questions. But let's not talk about that. What you wanted to know is about my past?"

"Now then let's learn about my past."

As soon as the previous Sam stopped talking, out of nowhere, A young beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes came and asked

"Hey there, why are you sitting alone?"

The black-haired boy looked up to the girl and replied with hesitation "I am new here so they won't play with me."

The blonde-haired girl laughed it off and said "Why don't we teach them a lesson by winning a game they are playing."

"By the way, My name is Sera. What is your name?"

Though the black-haired boy resisted he replied,

 "I am Sam"

Soon the girl pulled him towards the playground, because the blonde-haired girl persistently pulled him along, they ran towards the playground to play.

As the two children were playing, I couldn't help but ask.

"Is that you?"

Staring at the black-haired boy with hazel light brown aqua tint eyes playing with the blonde-haired girl, Sam lightly nodded.

"Yes"

Pointing towards the blonde-haired girl that the young Sam was playing with I asked.

"Then is she…."

A small smile appeared on Sam's face. He looked at the blonde-haired girl and said.

"Yeah. She is Sera Rosefield and she was my best friend."

Taken aback, I couldn't help but look at Sam in shock. How did someone like him become best friends with the princess of the Rosefield family?

"Best friend?"

Noticing the scepticism on my face, Sam smiled but didn't elaborate.

"Yeah…"

At that moment, A black limo entered the parking area of the preschool.

Staring at the incoming limo, Sera happily stood up. Soon the back doors opened and a man and a woman got out of the vehicle.

"Mom! Dad!"

Sera ran towards the man and woman who came out of the limo. The man picked her up and asked

"Did you have fun, my little princess?"

Sera happily replied, "Yes and I made a friend today."

Then the man replied "Then you should introduce your friend to me"

Sera happily nodded and said, "I will do that tomorrow."

The man then took her inside the limo. As the man was entering the limo with Sera, She cheerfully waved at Sam.

"Bye Sam."

Soon Sam's mother also came and picked him up. When Sam's mother came my emotions became complicated. Even though I am only an invisible observer of the past.

The scene cut and the world turned dark.

-Swoosh!

Extending his hand forward, Sam swiped right and the world around me changed. Soon the world around me changed.

The preschool turned itself into a classroom filled with students. I found myself witnessing more moments of Sam and Sera, As the days went by their friendship deepened with each passing day.

Despite the joyous memories I was seeing, I couldn't shake the feeling that

something would change, something that made Sam commit sui*ide.

And indeed,

One day everything did change....
